    Editor’s note: This interview was conducted by me in early 2012 for Jumping at the Sun and first appeared there. ~Alisha     Much like her nickname, Nekeisha “Poetrinmotion” Blandin, is constantly in motion.

Mardi, puis Mercredi

Zoe and Callie Cabbage Patch all decked out for Mardi Gras.     So yesterday we celebrated Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday with fruit filled pastries, beads, jazz, reggae and beans and rice. Although Zoe was a bit much, we had a lot of fun. In the wake of Jos’ death, it was the first…

On that crappy Youtube trailer, the violence across the Middle East & more.

A protester in Indonesia. (Source)   I honestly don’t know about the latest round of mess that has broken out across the Middle East and the Muslim World.  I don’t know what to think. I don’t know what to write. I do know it was nice to pray about this on Sunday at church. I…

Slutwalks. Giant costumes of vaginas. The war on women. After being bombarded with stories like these, it becomes all too easy to grow jaded. I admit, I had.
